Griffonia is a dietary supplement manufactured in the USA for Coral Club. Each capsule carries 50 mg of Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract with vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, and the bottle holds 60 capsules — a 60-day supply at the directed one capsule daily with a meal.
Read this first if you take any mood or migraine medication
Griffonia seed is a natural source of 5-HTP, the direct precursor of serotonin. Combining 5-HTP with other substances that raise serotonin can lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious reaction.
Anyone taking an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant, an MAO inhibitor, a triptan, tramadol, lithium or any other serotonergic medicine should speak to a physician before using this product. The same applies to other supplements that act on serotonin — including St John's wort, which Coral Club's own Evening Formula contains. The two should not be combined without medical advice.
50 mg of extract is not 50 mg of 5-HTP
Worth being exact about, since the two are easy to confuse. The label declares 50 mg of Griffonia seed extract. It does not declare how much 5-HTP that extract contains, and the 5-HTP content of Griffonia extracts varies considerably with the extraction method used. A source is listed under Research.
The amount of 5-HTP delivered per capsule therefore cannot be established from the card.
The two vitamins
Vitamin B6, as pyridoxine hydrochloride, is present at 2 mg — 118% of the Daily Value. Vitamin B12, as methylcobalamin, is present at 3 mcg — 125% of the Daily Value. According to Coral Club, both contribute to normal nervous system function and energy metabolism, support emotional well-being, help reduce occasional tiredness and fatigue, and assist the body's response to everyday stress.*
What the manufacturer states about Griffonia
Coral Club describes Griffonia as a natural source of 5-HTP that supports the nervous system, helps maintain the sleep-wake cycle and promotes relaxation.* According to the card, it supports serotonin production, which may help promote emotional balance, reduce occasional stress and support restful sleep, and it supports overall well-being and helps reduce occasional fatigue.*
The capsule is gelatin
The capsule shell is made of beef gelatin — the product labels and the other-ingredients list agree on this — so the product is not suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet. Coral Club declares it gluten free and free of soy.
Storage and shelf life
Coral Club's stated precaution is that anyone pregnant or nursing should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking the product. Shelf life is 2 years. Protect from heat, light and moisture, and store in a dry place at a maximum of 77°F, out of reach of children.

The FDA has not established a Daily Value for Griffonia seed extract, which the dash marks.
The card declares the weight of the extract, not its 5-HTP content, and gives no standardization figure.

A bottle of 60 capsules covers 60 days at that rate. Do not exceed the amount directed for daily intake.
Precautions
- Serotonergic medicines — do not combine without medical advice: SSRI and SNRI antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, triptans, tramadol, lithium and other medicines that raise serotonin. Combining them with 5-HTP can lead to serotonin syndrome.
- Serotonergic supplements: the same applies to St John's wort, which Coral Club's Evening Formula contains.
- Pregnancy and nursing: Coral Club directs consulting a healthcare practitioner before taking the product.
- Anyone with a diagnosed psychiatric or neurological condition should take medical advice before use.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if agitation, confusion, rapid heartbeat, sweating or muscle twitching occur.

Shelf life 2 years. Protect from heat, light and moisture. Store in a dry place at a maximum of 77°F, out of reach of children.
Research and studies
No published clinical study has assessed this finished product. The sources below concern 5-HTP as a compound, its safety, and how extraction affects the 5-HTP content of Griffonia seed.
Griffonia in practice
See how to use Griffonia and why mineralized water makes the difference.
How many capsules a day?
One capsule daily with a meal. A bottle of 60 covers 60 days.
Does each capsule contain 50 mg of 5-HTP?
No. It contains 50 mg of Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. The card does not declare how much 5-HTP that extract contains, and the 5-HTP content of Griffonia extracts varies with the extraction method.
Can I take it with antidepressants?
Not without medical advice. Combining 5-HTP with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, triptans, tramadol, lithium or other serotonergic medicines can lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious reaction.
Can I take it together with Evening Formula?
Not without medical advice. Evening Formula contains St John’s wort, which also acts on serotonin, so combining the two carries the same concern as combining 5-HTP with serotonergic medication.
What vitamins does it contain?
Vitamin B6 as pyridoxine hydrochloride, 2 mg or 118% of the Daily Value, and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, 3 mcg or 125% of the Daily Value.
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
No. The capsule shell is made of beef gelatin.
What should I watch for?
Stop taking it and seek medical advice if agitation, confusion, rapid heartbeat, sweating or muscle twitching occur, particularly if you take any other product that affects serotonin.
Where is it made and how is it stored?
Manufactured in the USA. Shelf life is 2 years; protect from heat, light and moisture and store in a dry place at a maximum of 77°F, out of reach of children.
